Outcome: Initial Outcome
There was a field day at Cate's Farm and they invited Extension to come and teach one of the rotations. Myself and 4-H both went to help with this. I taught the kids how to make butter. There were schools there from all over Henderson County. The goal of this program was to teach kids about where dairy products come from and what you can make with dairy products. A lot of the kids had an understanding of dairy products but many were surprised at the various foods that dairy products are in. The majority of the kids seemed to really enjoy making butter and was surprised at how easy it was to do. Many of them said that they liked the taste of it also. This is something that they can go home and show their parents how to do also.
